MLWGS at the VHSL State Wrestling Championship, senior medals in 1st place

Congratulations to Maggie Walker’s R.J. May (’22-Powhatan) for an outstanding performance taking 1st place at the 2022 VHSL Class 3 Wrestling State Championship last weekend.

In addition to winning the title as a senior, R.J. also won it during his freshman year. After that, the school was reclassified into division (3B) making the title a loftier goal to win. However, R.J. consistently won the title at Regionals all four years he attended MLWGS. 

R.J. maintains his skills year-round wrestling for Virginia Team Predator. Next year he will wrestle for UVA as a Cavalier. 

Additional recognition for his achievement at State goes to team member Zach Wooden (’22-Henrico) for 6th place. Well done, Zach!

The wrestling team is coached by Don Blanton.
